OTS - 5GAA brings together key actors to share advances on C-V2X deployment in China at MWC Shanghai 2019

Shanghai, China, 27. June 2019.(APA/OTS) - The 5G Automotive
Association, with the engagement of relevant ecosystem actors in
China, from Government officials to telecom and automaker companies
and the larger 5GAA community, took stage today at the MWC Shanghai
2019 to explain the state of deployment of the 'Cellular
Vehicle-to-Everything' (C-V2X) technology in this region.
"5GAA is instrumental in supporting the implementation of C-V2X
technology in different parts of the world including China. The
momentum in China reflects the fact that C-V2X is the verified,
mature and preferred future proof technology for connected
vehicles", said Luke Ibbetson, 5GAA board member and Vodafone
Group's Head of Research and Development.
C-V2X as part of Chinese C-ITS standards
Representatives from different Chinese public institutions
underlined during the conference that after issuing the three-year
Industry Development Plans on Intelligent Connected Cars (ICV) and
releasing C-V2X 5.9GHz ITS spectrum last year, ministries now
accelerate standards system of ICV in order to solve the issue of
interoperability in various scenarios. Meanwhile, the definition of
smart highway standard has started in terms of infrastructure
digitalization, Road-Transport unity, "Internet Plus" comprehensive
services and new generation transport control network which will be
enabled by C-V2X infrastructure and devices for both long range and
short-range communication.
C-V2X Eco-system
There was strong engagement from industry stakeholders in China
as well. It has been shared that 15 chipset/modules vendors are
committed to support C-V2X for the Chinese market, 35 manufacturers
are able to provide C-V2X infrastructure hardware or software, and
in particular 15 car OEMs have recently announced the roll-out of
C-V2X from 2020 H2 to 2021 H1. In order to improve C-V2X industry
maturity, IMT2020's C-V2X Working Group last year organized a
"Three-Cross" (1) interoperability tests for three Chipset vendors
and 12 OEMs. Furthermore, an interoperability test called
"Four-Cross" will be hosted to address more stakeholders and
security by testing and verifying certification and authority
system.
C-V2X Trial and Pre-commercial pilot
Many voices from the business side also explained the details
for C-V2X deployment on the roads and vehicles in China, to be
followed in other regions. There are more than 20 trials and pilot
projects taking place where 100KM roads across 10 provinces will be
digitalized with C-V2X.
Wuxi has been designated as national ICV pilot certificated by
MIIT. C-V2X deployment in Wuxi will be extended from 240
intersections to 400 this year, focusing mainly on use cases of
autonomous driving assistance and green waves for buses. It is
estimated that 1-2 bus lanes will be completed with green wave
deployment by end of this year, so as to improve punctuality,
reduce emergent stop and waiting time of red light for buses.
Yanchong Highway will be deployed with C-V2X to embrace the
2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Other regions in China start deploying C-V2X by 2020, for
instance, 40KM in Beijing Shunyi district and the international
exhibition centre, 42KM in Shanghai Yangshan port, 4.5KM in Xiongan
New Area, and the 30KM highway around Hainan province.
On top of showing the strong consolidation of C-V2X in China,
the 5GAA event successfully underlined the progress of C-V2X
application and services in terms of readiness of the ecosystem and
commercialisation. However, China is not alone: 5GAA underlined its
dedication to standardization, the eco-system and commercialisation
of C-V2X in America, Europe, Japan and South Korea. Once again,
5GAA's presence at MWC Shanghai successfully outlined the
association's vision in being a global player, and facilitating
thought leadership platforms for relevant stakeholders driving
towards building a better mobility ecosystem.
